Bring Back the App Lock Feature or Secure App Option: 
 
 Dear Samsung Team,
 
 In previous versions of One UI, there used to be a “S Secure App” or similar feature that allowed users to lock individual apps with a PIN or fingerprint. This feature was very convenient for privacy and security. However, it seems that the S Secure App is now missing from both the Galaxy Store and the Play Store.
 
 Please consider bringing back this feature or adding a built-in App Lock option in One UI 8, so users can easily lock specific apps without having to use Secure Folder or third-party app lockers.
 
 Thank you for continuously improving the Galaxy experience.
 
 Best regards,
 [SamsungS23Ultra]

Bhai, Samsung ne One UI ke naye versions mein "S Secure" ko select regions (India mein abhi bhi kuch models par hai) mein restrict kar diya hai. Lekin One UI 8 tak ka intezar karne ke bajaye, ye official tarike try karein:
1. S Secure APK (The Legacy Way)
Agar aapka device support karta hai, toh aap Galaxy Store mein "S Secure" search karein. Agar wahan nahi mil raha, toh Samsung ki official library se purani file detect karna mushkil hai. Iska alternative "Secure Folder" hi hai, lekin ek "Hidden Trick" hai.
2. "Secure Folder" ko Simple App Lock ki tarah use karein
Bahut log nahi jaante ki Secure Folder ko aap "Hidden Mode" mein chala sakte hain:
Settings > Security and Privacy > Secure Folder.
Wahan "Add apps" karke apni apps lock karein.
Settings mein ja kar "Show icon on Apps screen" ko OFF kar dein.
Ab wo apps sirf tab khulengi jab aap Quick Panel se Secure Folder ON karenge.
3. Shortcut Maker (Direct App Lock Access)
Kuch Samsung phones mein App Lock ka code system ke andar hota hai par hidden hota hai:
Play Store se "Shortcut Maker" download karein.
Activities par jayein aur "App Lock" search karein.
Agar Samsung ka hidden App Lock wahan dikhe, toh uska shortcut home screen par bana lein.
4. Suggestion for One UI 8
Bhai, aapne jo suggestion diya hai wo ekdum perfect hai. Samsung Members app mein "Get Help" > "Send Feedback" > "Suggestions" par ja kar ye likhein. Jitne zyada log maangenge, One UI 8 mein iske aane ke chances badh jayenge.
📝 Expert Note for Community:
"Bhai, Samsung ne security reasons se standalone App Lock ko 'Secure Folder' mein merge kar diya hai. Agar aapko separate lock chahiye, toh 'Secure Folder' mein apps add karke use customize karein. One UI 8 ke liye aapki feedback 'Members App' ke through Samsung developers tak pahunchayi ja sakti hai. Agar ye information kaam ki lagi ho toh 3 dots (⋮) par click karke 'Accept as Solution' mark kar dena! Shukriya! 💙🚀"

Bring back the S Secure app lock feature or an app for separate app locking.
